Bethesda says the patch "updates" some sound files to not use compression - does that mean they've been replaced with higher quality files? Will this be extended to the whole game?Īnyway, if Skyrim: Special Edition follows the same patterns as Fallout 4, we may see this patch go live for all PC users as early as next week, with consoles to follow in one or two additional weeks. The final point is an interesting one, because much of Skyrim: Special Edition's audio seems to be compressed to hell and back. The modded save files thing is also pretty annoying you can't import modded saves from Skyrim to Skyrim: Special Edition, but clearly the check on this was a little too strict.

Visit for instructions on how to give it a go, if you're keen.

Skyrim: Special Edition players on Steam can now opt-in to help beta test the next planned patch. A Skyrim: Special Edition update is currently in testing on Steam, hopefully ahead of a quick rollout.
